Food & Beverage Water Treatment Applications

Water treatment needs vary widely in the food and beverage industry depending on the application of the water.

Applications include:

  • Ingredient mixing
  • Drinking water

Water Treatment in the Food & Beverage Industry

Some of the most common treatment methods are:

  • Reverse Osmosis: RO Systems remove both bacterial and chemical contaminants by using a semi-permeable membrane, which prevents large particles from passing through, purifying the water to create clean drinking water.
  • Ultraviolet (UV) Water Treatment: UV treatment kills viruses, bacteria and other organisms that could be present in water without using harsh chemicals. The UV process retains the flavor and quality of the water and reduces potential for chemical contamination.
  • Commercial Water Filtration: Water filtration takes many forms and is typically used before any other type of treatment. Since filtration can’t remove heavy metals, salt or minerals, it’s best used hand-in-hand with other treatment system. Wastewater from food and beverage processing plant typically needs to be filtered before it leaves the facility to meet environmental regulations.
  • Ultrafiltration: Ultrafiltration (UF) ensures high quality, pure water that can be used as an ingredient in foods and beverages. This system purifies, separates and concentrates molecules in the water and removes it through pressure.
  • Deionization: DI Treatment is common in many industries, including food and beverage. It removes minerals and ions, leaving pure water behind.

Wastewater Treatment

The food and beverage industry can create a lot of wastewater. Due to many local, state and federal regulations, this wastewater must be treated before it can leave the facility.

The process of treating wastewater can require many steps, including pre-treatment, membrane filtration, disinfection or odor removal, and more. Besco Commercial Water Treatment has the expertise, as well as the technologies, to meet your compliance standards.

Featured Case Study

Client: Gallagher Industrial Laundry, Inc. – Battle Creek, Michigan

Client Challenge: This client has experienced substantial growth and was maxing out good, but outdated equipment. This was leading to inefficiencies, break-downs and a limited availability of replacement parts. Gallagher was just really having to run undersized equipment for their current and future needs. The client has had a 30-year relationship with Besco Water, so the trust was already in place.

Besco Solution: Besco recommended and installed a brand new system. One of the great benefits to Gallagher of this new water treatment plan was a "brine reclaim system" custom-designed by Besco Water to reclaim the brine and redirect it into the brine tank. By doing this Gallagher is able to save about 30% on their salt costs. Other benefits of the new installation are a better understanding of the flow rates and water usage at any given point. Gallagher can see peak demand flow rates which is valuable for them, and, in addition, there is a recorded history that a service tech can easily access in troubleshooting any service issues.
